jpg or gif screen shots in 10.2

before 10.2, with the use of tinker tool I could make screen shots taken with command-shift-3 or 4 save as jpg's or gifs.... but now I can only get them to save as pdf's, and that option is greyed out in tinker tool... anyone know how to change the format it saves screens shots in, in 10.2?

you can't. I've asked the guys at TinkerTool, they said the screen shot routine in OS X was based in the Core Graphics, which could not save anything else than PDF.

It was my habit too to save screenshots for the Web. Use Preview to Export is what I do now.

If you use GraphicConverter press comm-ctrl-shift-4 to take the screen shot to the clipboard, then activate GraphicConverter and press comm-j and it creates a new document from the clipboard.

If you have PhotoShop, you can open the screenshot and save it as jpeg.

Nice trick, thanx !
But still, my solution is the one that uses less memory and that gets the job done faster: take it as PDF, Export to JPEG in Preview.

I believe that grab only saves as TIFF's. You're only way you will be able to save directly to jpg or gif is to use a 3rd party app such as Snaps Pro. You can download a free trial at versiontracker

Snaps is an excellent screenshot utility if you have never tried it before.
